I told her in the begining I would spend 10k. If she could not ddo it for 10 then we would go to tahoe and have an asain elvis marry us and then throw a huge party for everyone. that is all people really want. they want, good ffood, cake, drinks and music. no one carries about the ceramony. So, I set it up in wine country. and close to cheap and expensive hotels. I am serving all you can drink wine, champagne and beer, not hard alcohol except for the wedding party.

amen to that. I'm going to a wedding Saturday and I can't wait for these things. You think my ass wants to sit in a church for 2 hours?

Not sure if you'd laugh or cry if you heard how much was being spent on mine

my buddy is spending close to 50k. I laughed at him.

As being a business owner and a realist, I can see a good investment and a sh1t one. Spending a bunch of money on a wedding is a waste. I want a good phtographer, and the rest will be good food, booze and music. My playlist will be from the 80s and 90s. mostly old school hip hop and fun music. humpty dance is your chance to do the hump.

but that's where all the expense is, throwing the party.

our wedding ceremony is at a gazebo in a park we rented for $50.

figure $30 a person for dinner/cake and that's a few grand right there just to eat. a few grand to rent a space and decorate at minimum, a few grand for alcohol. a grand for the dj, grand for the photographer.

how many people are you inviting?

I always have to laugh when I see a thread described as "Not Work Safe." Is there anything on the OT forum that's really "work safe"? If I were your boss, I'd be mad if you spent any time on this forum at work at all.

70 people.
30 dollars a person for food
1200 on booze. I have a hook up in wine country and at a local mico brewery.
1500 for photo
2000k for venue.

Thankfully I'm not responsible for paying for my wedding. Otherwise I'd be having it at Chuck E Cheese's.

If I had to guess based on what I saw the wedding alone after the cost of reserving the venue, orchestra, food, open bar, cake, etc. it will be around $75,000-$80,000. We are expecting about 125-150 people.

That does not include the rehearsal dinner for 50-70 some odd people or the Sunday brunch for out of town guests, another 50 or so individuals.

I wish her parents would cut us a check instead, go to the court house and get married, then use the money towards a luxury condo downtown.

that right there is the difference between realistic and rirational.
my gf mom is dead. her father is not well off. So, I get to pay for everyhting.

She wants the wedding of her dreams. And if her parents are willing to finance that dream, then whom am I to interject? I don't think it's my place to tell either her nor her parents what a better use of the money would be.
